Understanding the Concept of Anonymity

The term “anonymous” refers to something that lacks a known author or origin. It describes individuals who are not identified, named, or recognized. The motivation behind their anonymity may be their preference to remain unknown. Consequently, they lack individuality, distinctiveness, or recognizability. 

Anonymity has always played a crucial role in the world of cryptocurrencies. One specific technology that focuses on ensuring anonymity is Zcash, a cryptocurrency listed on CoinMarketCap. Zcash employs a cryptographic tool known as zero-knowledge proof, which enables participants to protect their transactions and keep their addresses concealed. Moreover, it also hides the transaction amount. This serves as a prime illustration of how anonymity operates within the realm of cryptocurrency.
